Things Fall Apart Quickly

[00:06] Ooh, we do want to go under Googles, that was the play of super excited told us we had
[00:17] to.
[00:18] So we said we signed up for it.
[00:23] In the end, it's going to be better and more true than Google can give you.
[00:27] Last thing on the list is an under Google Bowl.
[00:33] You probably know the answer to this because you're a world-renowned scholar.
[00:38] But this week, the World Cup kicked off, it's in Russia.
[00:45] The games are starting early in the morning and whatnot.
[00:49] And I was trying to figure out what that meant for what time games were being played in Russia.
[00:57] And then I was like trying to do the math and then I realized Russia is ginormous, huge.
[01:03] So how many time zones are there in Russia?
[01:10] So in Russia?
[01:11] Or are they all on the same time zone?
[01:13] Because that seems insane.
[01:14] So the USSR, I believe, covered 14 time zones.
[01:19] What?
[01:20] Yeah, it was like 12 or 14.
[01:22] It was half the planet.
[01:25] That's insane.
[01:26] Yeah.
[01:27] But that's the USSR.
[01:28] They're probably, I mean even so, because they still, they retain most of their eastward
[01:32] expansion.
[01:33] Yeah.
[01:34] I mean it goes basically to Alaska.
[01:37] Yeah.
[01:38] So I'm going to say it's at least 10, at least 10 time zones.
[01:42] I mean I think that most of where the games are played is near to Europe, which is-
[01:45] On the western side.
[01:46] Yeah, the western side.
[01:47] So that's an 11 hour time change or something.
[01:53] So Russia, I know nothing about European geography.
[01:55] So it goes like France, Germany, Poland, and then Russia, basically?
[02:02] Yeah.
[02:03] As you go west to east, those are the big ones, right?
[02:08] Sure.
[02:09] Poland's a big one.
[02:10] We'll give it to them.
[02:11] Okay.
[02:12] It's a country I've heard of.
[02:14] They're very happy in Poland that they got their shout out today.
[02:16] Okay.
[02:17] Cool.
[02:18] They had to wait almost as long as Japan.
[02:19] So.
[02:20] Right on.
[02:22] So you think it's 10 time zones?
[02:26] Yeah.
[02:27] I'll guess 10.
[02:29] But how much territory did they lose when this USSR broke up?
[02:36] So mostly-
[02:37] They lost all of the Baltic states.
[02:38] Yeah, they lost the Baltic states.
[02:40] So they probably really only lost one time zone.
[02:43] So maybe I should say 11.
[02:45] Interesting.
[02:46] I was looking at a map the other day and I realized that Russia is actually east of
[02:51] North Korea, which is an insane thing to think about.
[02:57] Yeah.
[02:58] So like the northern tip of Russia like wraps around.
[03:00] Yeah.
[03:01] Like North Korea.
[03:02] Come shotgun.
[03:03] Yeah.
[03:04] Yeah.
[03:05] That was my favorite territory and risk.
[03:08] That was my-
[03:09] Key to it all.
[03:10] That was my favorite crappy vodka in high school also.
[03:20] Nailed it.
[03:21] Oh, nice.
[03:23] 11 freaking time zones.
[03:26] It's nuts.
[03:29] And they even mentioned Kamchatka.
[03:31] And they-
[03:32] Yeah.
[03:33] From Collingrad Oblast, a Baltic enclave in the west, to Kamkachah Krai in the far east.
[03:41] There's a Magadan time zone.
[03:43] Do time zones have names?
[03:45] I don't know.
[03:46] I wonder what the name- I guess so.
[03:48] I mean, I guess we've got like Pacific or something.
[03:50] I wonder if there's another set of nomenclature for like-
[03:55] That's what I'm thinking.
[03:56] On a global scale.
[03:58] Yeah.
[04:00] This website is not very up to date.
[04:03] It's in 2010.
[04:07] Got east and west Germany on there.
[04:09] Dmitry Medvedev was trying to lobby for more time- fewer time zones.
[04:16] You know, it's nice to have an under Google with an actual answer.
[04:19] That was very rewarding.
[04:22] There's a thing called Middle European Summertime time zone.
[04:26] Cool.
[04:29] That's crazy.
[04:30] Alright, way to go Russia.
[04:32] Yeah, way to be half the planet.
[04:35] So far so good in the World Cup.
[04:37] I feel like they're doing pretty good so far.
[04:42] Yeah.
[04:43] Is the World Cup going to be marred by some ridiculous refereeing incident?
[04:48] I just feel like-
[04:49] Oh, I'm sure.
[04:50] Any time that you let Russia be involved with FIFA, there's like the two most corrupt
[04:52] organizations on the planet.
[04:54] You can't end that well.
[04:55] Exactly.
[04:56] Yeah.
[04:57] No.
[04:58] This is infamously going to- Russia, who is one of the worst ranked teams in FIFA, is
[05:06] going to end up winning the whole thing.
[05:09] And there's just going to be a picture of a- in the opening game, it was Russia, Saudi
[05:15] Arabia.
[05:16] And they kept cutting to the booth with Putin and the salt would it be, the emir I guess
[05:22] of Saudi Arabia.
[05:25] Every time Russia- so Russia wins five to nothing.
[05:28] And every time Russia scored, they'd show Vladimir Putin and he'd just be like shrugging
[05:32] like, meh.
[05:33] We're good.
[05:34] We're good.
[05:35] Who knew?
[05:36] Things happened.
[05:37] I don't know.
[05:38] Yeah.
[05:39] Yeah.
[05:40] Somebody might end up going last boy scout in the middle of the game.
[05:45] I don't know.
[05:48] Who knows?
[05:49] Anything is possible.
[05:50] Gotta watch.
[05:52] They're going to throw a soccer ball to stop a bullet.
[05:55] Is that what you mean?
[05:56] That's going to be amazing.
[05:58] I think that's how physics works.
[06:01] Okay.
[06:02] That is.
[06:03] I took that class.
[06:04] In a vacuum.
[06:05] In a vacuum.
[06:06] That's how it works.
[06:09] Do flat earthers believe in time zones?
[06:11] Ooh.
[06:15] They must.
[06:16] Right?
[06:17] I don't think they have to do anything.
[06:21] Okay.
[06:22] Do flat earthers, how does the sun work in a flat earther's mind?
[06:30] How are there days and nights?
[06:33] So.
[06:34] Does the flat earth rotate like a record?
[06:40] No.
[06:42] The sun and the moon do around sort of a weird elliptical.
[06:46] I've actually, I've looked into this so I can give you this one because I'm fascinated
[06:51] by flat earthers.
[06:55] It doesn't really make sense.
[06:56] I mean, I think that in order for their time zones to work, it'd basically have to be north
[07:00] pole spokes out and then split that way, I think.
[07:05] No, it'd be the same.
[07:09] Well because that's kind of how it is now, right?
[07:11] Well except the sun moves basically along the equator, right?
[07:16] For us.
[07:17] Oh, I see.
[07:18] Yeah.
[07:19] Yeah, that's kind of what they're going for here.
[07:22] Yep.
[07:23] Yeah, their line goes through the equator.
[07:26] Yeah.
[07:27] But how do they explain seasons then?
[07:29] Oh, they don't.
[07:31] Like where the sun is higher or lower in the sky.
[07:37] I don't.
[07:38] They just don't even try.
[07:39] I don't know if they try or not.
[07:42] I think they just make up shit as they go along.
[07:44] This is a really mesmerizing gif.
[07:49] It's like the sun just has a spotlight then magically.
[07:52] Yeah.
[07:53] Oh look, there's a flat earth wiki.
[07:56] How nice.
[08:00] The one one under general information, is this site a joke?
[08:05] The site is not a joke.
[08:12] You know you're in some legitimate.
[08:16] When the FAQ is, are you fucking kidding me?
[08:20] So they acknowledge that the sun and the moon must orbit in some fashion.
[08:29] They do.
[08:30] Right.
[08:31] Something must be moving.
[08:32] But they just float above us.
[08:33] Upon.
[08:34] But we don't move in space.
[08:37] It's not clear.
[08:38] I mean, it's sort of like you can't really believe in gravity, right?
[08:41] Because what would be the propelling force that was moving the sun and the moon, right?
[08:44] So the flat earth does not believe in gravity?
[08:47] Yeah.
[08:48] Yeah.
[08:55] How do you even pronounce that name?
[08:57] Kiridech Efri-Burn-Rat?
[09:05] These names are made up.
[09:09] So the Capitals won the Stanley Cup, you know.
[09:12] And Jill was working from home and she was watching the thing, the parade or whatever.
[09:20] And she like had this out on in the background and she texted me, she's like, this parade
[09:25] is amazing.
[09:27] Every hockey player looks the same and there's a guy named Christian Jews.
[09:31] Like, this is just magical.
[09:41] That guy is not responsible for world peace.
[09:42] Yeah, exactly.
[09:43] I was like, his parents must have just really, you know, dreamed high.
[09:49] Ollie Schneider Jans.
[09:54] These are, somebody put letters into a Yahtzee things and just read that and said, hey.
